RESOLUTIONS
Mr.. Could, joint Assclnb!yman from Inyo.
Mono and Alpine counties, who has been max
ing quite study of forestry, introduced the fol-
lowing
WHEREAS The interests of California. like
those of all countries necessitates the reserva-
tion of certain portion of land in forest for the
best interests of agriculture and, whereas the
proportion of land in the greater parts of Cali
fornia in forest is already much less than is
deemed essential by scientific men ; and, where
as, the land laws of the United States and of
this State, applying to the forest lands, are IN
suited to the honestly conducted lumber trade
and fail totally TO guard against Waste or de
struction by fire, and provide no protection Tor
u future lumber supply, or for the preservation
OF the watersheds OF our state; and, whereas
when these laws are good, the absence of adc
quste machinery for their effet tiveness forms
bar to their utility, and thus fraud, dishonesty
and waste are rife, and robbery of the timber Of
the General Government and from this State ;
school lands is common ; and whereas, these
practices and wrongs should cease therefore,
be it
Rcsolrea 6ytac Senate and isserb5y of California;

sentativeS of this State in the FEEDER j Congress

deavors to improve the p esent land laws apply
